Hmm…not exactly sure if I should thank God for coffee because the caffeine is making me jumpy and I could die from anxiety attacks any minute now! (I didn’t realize that coffee might have been the culprit behind my “nervous breakdown” last night until I talked to my friend and realized that coffee is doing me more harm than good!)
Okay. So what are the bad stuff? Here goes…
1. Coffee can make my teeth more yellowish, hence, tramping my “cute smile” (according to a friend).
2. Caffeine can harm my vocal cords! (I should have known that earlier!)
3. My jumpiness. ‘Nuff said.
So, if all I’m writing about is the bad stuff that coffee can do, what’s with the title??? Don’t worry. I’m getting there. =)
Despite the bad stuff coffee can do to me, I still loooooooooove coffee.
Reasons:
1. It’s aroma is so enticing.
2. The taste is just heavenly. It’s the perfect drink to start your day!
3. It perks me up.
4. It makes me listen attentively in class even though I only had 5 hours of sleep.
5. It has antioxidants that make my skin healthy (according to those coffee advertisements).
6. It’s coffee!! Who doesn’t get addicted to coffee when you’re in college?
My point is, life is bad enough with coffee. Imagine life without your favorite cuppa joe. What will happen to you when bad days happen more often than it’s supposed to? It’ll be horrible. Anyway, we won’t realize that coffee is needed in our lives if no one discovered it in the first place, right?
Bad day or not, coffee is just like God. God is someone we can turn to in times of need. He can comfort us better than a cup of your favorite caramel macchiato. But remember, we don’t turn to God just so we get comforted. We turn to Him because we need Him.
Let me ask you a question. Are you willing to pay 150 pesos just for a cup of coffee? I don’t think so. I don’t think that’s the case even if you argue that the quality of coffee is so worth it. Tell you what. You’re paying for the relaxing ambience.You’re paying for the place. In short, you go to your favorite coffee shop because you want to get a cup of coffee and enjoy the place.
So, you don’t just go to God and ask for comfort but you bask in the comfort of His presence.
Enjoy your cup of coffee today! =)
